Cloudflare Joins CAI and Enables Content Credentials for 20% of the Internet

...if you use R2 to store your images.
-
Fuck cloudflare and their shitty centralised web, past present and future.
Long live the free and open internet!
-
what to use instead of cloudflare?
-
Just host your own reverse proxy. It's not hard
-
They say it's not hard when you know how. I don't know how and even when I think I do it's usually still difficult
Currently using no-ip so friends can use a web address for game sever or get some files, instead of my every changing IP, for free.
-
Really? For DDOS and privacy protection?
I know Cloudflare is indeed a growing issue. But I think it’s growing because it’s really difficult to self host/provide some of their services.
-
No-ip's DDNS is relatively wonderful.
Scammy in a sort of eastern european sleazy used car dealership way, I had to talk to their support once about a double charge and it felt like Roman from GTA IV was on the other side.
-
Which ones? What for?
Really the only service of such extreme convenience I can't help but use it is cloudflare tunnels for quickly selfhosting and their cheap asf domain registrar.
Not sure what else you need.
-
porkbun is an alternative to the cheap registrar.
But I thought Cloudflare had great DDOS protection. And the comment I replied to says to just do it yourself.
Why did you skip over that?
-
Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either normal would I argue with the costs are worth it.
-
I do both.
I have Cloudflare pointing to my reverse proxy.
Total pain to set up and had to hunt through a bunch of forums to get it to work.
